The end of the year is nigh...

... but before I start on that - just a few comments about Julius Caeser:
- Patrick Teoh is still, IMHO, a totally natural and fantastic actor. He definitely did justice to the role of Cassius
- Ari Ratos used his voice well in his role of Brutus, but was rather stiff in the body.
- Nobody else is worth a mention, other than to say they were pretty bad... with the guy acting as JC himself being the worst. Talk about overacting with a vengeance. Wonder if they give Cameronian awards for that?

OK.. back to the end of the year - yes, it is HERE. Omigosh, where did the time go? Xmas is just this coming weekend and then it is the New Year and we can kiss 2005 goodbye.

Husband and I were in Singapore this last weekend, to visit a friend who just had a baby, and to catch up with some other friends as well. Got there on Friday late morning, and left SG on Sunday morning. Stopped in Melaka for lunch at brothers place, and then continued journey to KL. Traffic was amazingly good the whole way - maybe we were early enough to avoid the bulk of the travellers?

Xmas pressies are all wrapped and sitting under the Xmas tree, husband's famous Xmas cake has been made, and suitably marzipan covered - next step is the icing itself. Family get together planned for Xmas Eve as usual, with a pot luck dinner this time instead of getting Mum to cook everything.... the kids, of course, will be paying little attention to the food - they will be just waiting to open the presents up!

My next blog is more likely to be in the new year, so to all and sundry out there, may the year ahead be a blessed one, full of love, laughter and good fortune. May we all get what we deserve, and may we deserve what we get.

And to all ... a MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR.
